Here's a different take - there is not really a way to prove that the AI agent autonomously published that blog post. What if there was a real person who actually instructed the AI out of spite? I think it was some junior dev running Clawd/whatever bot trying to earn GitHub karma to show to employers later and that they were pissed off their contribution got called out. Possible and more than likely than just an AI conveniently deciding to push a PR and attack a maintainer randomly.
Maybe? The project already had multiple blog posts up before this initial PR and post. I think it was set up by someone as a test/PoC of how this agentic persona could interact with the open source community and not to obtain karma. I think it got «unlucky» with its first project and it spiraled a bit. I agree that this spiraling could have been human instructed. If so, it’s less interesting than if it did that autonomously. Anyway it keeps submitting PRs and is extremely active on its own and other repos.
